Laminitis - Corta Vet

We have a 15 year old pony, 10.2h and is stiff in his hind leg. He does suffer from Laminitis so I am very careful what he has. I would like to know if this product would help and not cause laminitis otherwise could you suggest some thing else?
Many thanks Ellen

This would be a suitable product to try for your pony. It should not cause laminitis and might well help with his mobility. How well any individual responds to this sort of product is difficult to predict and does vary from one to another, but it is certainly a good product to try.

Sticky stifle

Would cortavet ha help with my gelding with his stiff hind leg? He is almost 5 and vet suggested he may suffer from sticky stifle on his right hind? If not cortavet what would be best ?

This is a bit of a shot in the dark, but it might well work. It sounds as if there is not a precise diagnosis here, although it seems that the right hind leg does not show normal mobility. Sometimes this product will seem to help with this type of problem and it is as good a thing to try as any other. You should follow your vet's general advice regarding feeding, exercise etc and then it is fine to try this supplement for a few weeks as well and see how things go.

Cortaflex and glucosamine + pergolide

I giving my horse pergolide for early cushings. Is it ok to give her joint supplements for arthritis such as cortaflex or glucosamine?

John Cousins BVSc MRCVS

Many horses are on joint supplements and pergolide at the same time. It seems to be perfectly OK to do, but ideally you should aim to not swap and change between different joint supplements abruptly.
